manse Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Got a bunch of these little suckers. Just noticed them the other day. The one pictured is hanging out next to a margarita snail. There is also a Nassarius Vibrex snail on the margaritas back and another walking on the glass there, to give you an idea of the size. Are they some bad kind of shrimp? To big to be a copepod, no?

formerly icyuodd/icyoud2 Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 they look like amphipods http://creatures.ifas.ufl.edu/misc/amphipods.htm Link to comment
janasleah Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Amphipod, I think....not a problem. They're good detritus eaters, and funny to watch. Link to comment
manse Posted July 20, 2005 Author Share Posted July 20, 2005 Yup, definitely an amphipod. Thanks for the replies folks! Link to comment
